Eustephieae
Eustephieae is a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. Taxonomy Phylogeny This tribe was resurrected from the Stenomesseae in 1995 by Meerow. The placement of Eustephieae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram, where this tribe is shown as a sister group to the remainder of the tetraploid Andean clade.

Amaryllidoideae
Amaryllidoideae (Amaryllidaceae ''s.s.'', amaryllids) is a subfamily of monocot flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, order Asparagales. The most recent APG classification, APG III, takes a broad view of the Amaryllidaceae, which then has three subfamilies, one of which is Amaryllidoideae (the old family Amaryllidaceae), and the others are Allioideae (the old family Alliaceae) and Agapanthoideae (the old family Agapanthaceae). The subfamily consists of about seventy genera, with over eight hundred species, and a worldwide distribution. Description The Amaryllidoideae are herbaceous, perennial flowering plants, usually with bulbs (some are rhizomatous). Their fleshy leaves are arranged in two vertical columns, and their flowers are large. Most of them are bulbous geophytes and many have a long history of cultivation as ornamental plants. They are distinguished from the other two Amaryllidaceae subfamilies (Agapanthoideae and Allioideae) by their unique alkaloidal ch ...

Amaryllidaceae
The Amaryllidaceae are a family of herbaceous, mainly perennial and bulbous (rarely rhizomatous) flowering plants in the monocot order Asparagales. The family takes its name from the genus '' Amaryllis'' and is commonly known as the amaryllis family. The leaves are usually linear, and the flowers are usually bisexual and symmetrical, arranged in umbels on the stem. The petals and sepals are undifferentiated as tepals, which may be fused at the base into a floral tube. Some also display a corona. Allyl sulfide compounds produce the characteristic odour of the onion subfamily (Allioideae). The family, which was originally created in 1805, now contains about 1600 species, divided into about 70–75 genera, 17 tribes and three subfamilies, the Agapanthoideae (agapanthus), Allioideae (onions and chives) and Amaryllidoideae ( amaryllis, daffodils, snowdrops). Over time, it has seen much reorganisation and at various times was combined with the related Liliaceae. Since 2009, a ver ...

Hippeastreae
Hippeastreae is a tribe of plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae). Species in this tribe are distributed in South America. Flowers are large and showy, zygomorphic, with the stamens in varying lengths, inflorescence bracts are often fused basally (along one side). The seeds are flattened, winged or D-shaped. Reported basic chromosome numbers are ''x''= 8-13, 17, and higher. All the species in this tribe present a remarkable aesthetic interest and horticultural value. Taxonomy Meerow et al. (1999) provide a history of the treatment of the genera of Amaryllidaceae, including Hippeastreae, from the mid-twentieth century. While morphological phylogeny has been frustrated by the perversive homoplasy typical of the Amaryllidaceae, application of molecular phylogenetics to the Amaryllidaceae did not indicate clear tribal divisions but rather broad biogeographical clades. However the American clade resolved the tribe Hippeastreae. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stenomesseae
Stenomesseae was a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was originally described by Traub in his monograph on the Amaryllidaceae in 1963, as Stenomessae based on the type genus ''Stenomesson''. In 1995 it was recognised that Eustephieae was a distinct group separate from the other Stenomesseae. Subsequently, the Müller-Doblies' (1996) divided tribe Eustephieae into two subtribes, Stenomessinae and Eustephiinae. The advent of molecular phylogenetics showed that the Stemomesseae (including Stenomesson) was polyphyletic. Consequently, a separate tribe (Clinantheae) was created from one group and the remainder, which segregated with Eucharideae ''Eucharideae'' is a tribe of plants within the family Amaryllidaceae. It was augmented in 2000 by Meerow ''et al.'' following a molecular phylogenetic study that revealed that many elements of the tribe Stenomesseae segregated wi ...

Pyrolirion
''Pyrolirion'', commonly known as fire lilies or flame lilies, is a small genus of herbaceous, bulb-forming South American plants in the Amaryllis family, native to Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. Description ''Pyrolirion'' have thin linear leaves that may be pointed at the tips. The flowers, which can vary in coloration, are borne erect on solitary hollow scapes. The perigone is funnel-shaped, with a cylindrical tube that flares out abruptly to star-like radially arranged (actinomorphic) petals. Small scale-like "paraperigone" may be present at the base. The stamens arise from or below the throat. The style has three branches at the tip with spoon-shaped (spatulate) stigmas. The seeds are laterally compressed, colored black with white seams ( raphe). Systematics The genus ''Pyrolirion'' was first established by the British botanist William Herbert in 1837. The name ''Pyrolirion'' is from Greek πῦρ (''pyr'', "fire") and λείριον (''leirion'', "lily"). It is named af ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haemantheae
Haemantheae are a tribe of subfamily Amaryllidoideae (family Amaryllidaceae). They are herbaceous monocot perennial flowering plants with a predominantly African distribution. Three subtribes are proposed and six genera including the type genus, ''Haemanthus'', are included. They are characterised by the presence of baccate (berry) fruit. Taxonomy Phylogeny The placement of Haemantheae within subfamily Amaryllidoideae is shown in the following cladogram: Subdivision There are three subtribes, with six genera * Cliviinae D.Müll.-Doblies & U.Müll.-Doblies * Haemanthinae Pax * Gethyllidinae Meerow The subtribes are related as follows: Cliviinae: Two genera - '' Clivia'', '' Cryptostephanus'' Haemanthinae: Type - two genera, ''Haemanthus ''Haemanthus'' is a Southern African genus of flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae.

Griffineae
The tribe Griffineae (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae) includes 2 genera with 22 species from South America which are actually endemic to Brazil. A typical character of the representatives of the tribe are the flowers - They are with blue or lilac color collected into an umbel. Only the members of this tribe and the genus '' Lycoris'' are able to form flowers with such color in the whole family Amaryllidaceae. The plants in this group are typical perennial flowers which are producing bulbs. The leaves are green, with elliptical form in the most of the cases but in some members as in '' Worsleya'' they are sword-shaped. Taxonomy The Müller-Doblies' (1996) placed ''Griffinia'' in its own subtribe Griffiniinae (of tribe Hippeastreae) and did not recognise ''Worsleya'', which they submerged in ''Phycella''. In contrast, Meerow and Snijman (1998) resurrected it, placing both genera within Hippeastreae. Subsequently, molecular phylogenetic studies demonstr ...

Narcisseae
Narcisseae is a small tribe of plants belonging to the subfamily Amaryllidoideae of the Amaryllis family ( Amaryllidaceae), where it forms part of the Eurasian clade, and is one of three tribes in the European (Mediterranean) clade. It contains two genera ('' Narcissus'' and '' Sternbergia'') and approximately 58 species, but probably also '' Lapiedra''. The two genera are distinguished from each other by the presence of a paraperigonium in the former. Description Characterised by a solid scape and spathaceous bracts fused into a floral tube (basally connate).

Clinantheae
Clinantheae is a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was described in 2000 by Alan Meerow ''et al.'' as a result of a molecular phylogenetic study of the American Amaryllidoideae. This demonstrated that the tribe Stenomesseae, including the type genus '' Stenomesson'' was polyphyletic. Part of the tribe segregated with the Eucharideae and were submerged into it, while the other part formed a unique subclade.
